Hello, Welcome to HCM. I can understand your concern. Widal test is always correlated with the symptoms. So do you have any symptoms suggestive of Typhoid like fever, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain etc.? Or you are recovering from the infection? Is this the first time you have done the test or it was previously as well? As such, your results appear to be normal because this much titre is not suggestive of infection but you need to repeat the test if you are experiencing the symptoms. A rise in the titre will indicate possibility of infection. Hope this will be helpful. Thanks for your question. Take care.
